The day began in absolute chaos. General Ant had received a message about the imminent danger. On the surface, Chloe and Jack were having fun poking sticks into the anthill, attacking the colony once again. Will these tiny, fascinating insects be able to defend their territory, and teach the children to respect them? The Ant's Secretis a story about the importance of respecting animals and nature, and in this case ants.
